Is the built-in bios flash on this board ok, or is it still something you should avoid?
Can't help you with the HDD issue, but I can say the EZ flash tool in the bios works without an issue for me and everyone else.

Looking through this thread it seems like this board overclocks like nothing, however I found that I can't get past 420FSB without Orthos dieing within 5 minutes.

I've tried changing a LOT of things including timings, memory straps, transaction booster etc but it didn't help at all.

Any insight would be really helpful!

Here are my current settings (Not stable):
Tried the newest bios 1306 and it didn't help.
Woah you'd better lower that vFSB back down to 1.12v for starters that's very high. Don't raise vFSB first, it wont help much if at all. Increase the vcore to perhaps 1.30v (bios) and retry. Keep ram at 1:1 divider until you stabilize the cpu. Set Transaction booster to manual and set PL = 10. Set vNB to 1.24v. Have you ever overclocked before?
